Karate Champ Avi Rokah Total Dedication Made Him One Of The Best.(LEADERS & SUCCESS)
Byline: Alison Young
Some people only dream about how far they can go. Avi Rokah decided to make his dreams a reality.
Ever since Rokah stepped into an Israeli dojo at 14, he dreamed of achieving greatness in the discipline of karate. He liked its concept of improving every day.
For the past 20 years, Rokah has dedicated his life to the art of Shotokan, or traditional karate. To help pass along his knowledge, he teaches 10 classes a day at his own dojo in Los Angeles.
But he knows there's always more you can learn. So by 8:30 p.m., he's on his way downtown to the dojo of his teacher, ninth-degree black belt master Hidetaka Nishiyama. (The 10th degree is the highest. Rokah himself is a fifth degree.)
Here, he practices for another three to five hours, listening intently to Nishiyama and refining his form.
"What sets Avi apart is his ability to bring all of karate's different points into one," said Markus Baumgartner, Austrian champion and head coach of that country's karate team. "With Avi, there is no contradiction. The same principles are woven throughout his explanations, practice and techniques."
